Post Ferrari 599 GTO tuned by Novitec Rosso - 888

The Ferrari aficionados at Novitec Rosso have unveiled a new tuning program for the 599 GTO.

While the car certainly wasn't lacking in performance, the tuner outfitted the 6.0-liter V12 with twin superchargers, a new intake manifold, enlarged fuel injectors, high-flow air filters, a massive intercooler, and stainless-steel sport exhaust system with 90mm tailpipes. Thanks to these tweaks, output climbs to 888 PS (653 kW / 876 hp) and 862 Nm (636 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 218 PS (160 kW / 215 hp) and 242 Nm (178 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, 0- 200 km/h in 9.1 seconds, and onto a top speed in excess of 340 km/h (211 mph).

On the styling front, the car features a silver and yellow paint scheme which is reminiscent of the Ferrari 250 GTO that won the 1964 Tour de France. Additionally, Novitec Rosso installed lowering springs, a front-axle lift up system, and lightweight wheels (which measure 21-inches front and 22-inches rear) with Pirelli PZero tires.

That looks sick, and the power is nice. The only thing I would change is the color of the wheels to make the car stand out a bit more. Too much grey going on

The side profile with the yellow stripe dropping down onto the brake caliper is pretty neat!

The GTR is AWD which would explain why it would perform better off the line.

I didn't realize how dated the 599 looked until seeing it next to the California and 458!
